The Star Trek Experience - CLOSED

The Glory Days Of Star Trek In Las Vegas Are No Longer

For roughly 10 years from 1998 to 2008 Star Trek fans enjoyed a little Vegas with the trekkie experience and it was fabulous! Well, it was great for Star Trek fans but as Las Vegas once again attempted to redefine itself it moved away from amusement park themed casinos and went back to the typical adult world themes that seem to inspire debauchery and mayhem.

Since then the Las Vegas Hilton has transformed into the Las Vegas Hotel and Casino and now to the Westgate Las Vegas.

The property is still a good value for convention center visitors and mobility has vastly improved since the days of the Star Trek Experience with the addition of the Las Vegas Monorail.

Plans were in place to re-opoen the experience and the Star Trek Museum in another Downtown location but ultimately failed.

The closure of the experience did not mean the end for family friendly activities as there are still plenty of attractions in Las Vegas that cater to non-gaming population. Check out the 88 Things To Do in Las Vegas for a tour of alternatives to the Star Trek Experience.

Before you send the hate mail, I understand that nothing can replace the Klingon Encounter or the Borg Invasion but don't be alarmed as Las Vegas has so many options for you that I am positive that you can find some form of entertainment that will help you have a good time on the Las Vegas strip.
